Phillip Island Penguins and Koala Highlights
Join the Phillip Island Tour showcasing the Penguin Parade and Coastal Vistas. It is only a 1 hour 45 minute drive from Melbourne directly to Phillip Island. Here, you will embark on a self-guided walk through Phillip Island's Koala Conservation Reserve. Learn about Koalas, the history, and relevance of the Reserve, and the last area of natural woodland on the island.
From the Koala Wildlife Park, it is a short drive to Phillip Island, home to more than a hundred varieties of animal species. There are three main settlements Cape Woolamai, New Haven & Cowes. Generally, they make time to wander through the coastal township of Cowes. Sheltered alongside the calm Westernport Bay, this township was named after Cowes on the Isle of White. Beautiful seaside scenery, unique stores to peak into, and many nice restaurants to purchase food.
Your next stop will be at the Phillip Island Nature Parks, where you have the beautiful scenery of sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, and exotic wildlife that is simply eye-catching.
Next, you arrive at the Nobbies Rocks where your guide will take you on an optional guided walk down the boardwalks to see the rocky coast and spot Penguins nesting in their burrows. You'll then travel along the Phillip Island backroads through the Phillip Island Penguin Habitat. Enjoy incredible views of the coastal cliffs on your way to the Phillip Island Penguin Parade. Enjoy the sunset at the Visitor Information Center and choose the right seat to have a great view of the main spectacles of the day — the Penguin Parade!
